The eagerly anticipated Steam Summer Sale is now underway, and will run through July 22nd, with new deals to be added every day. The website seems to be struggling at this moment to meet demand, so a little refreshing may be required. Word is: "The annual Steam Summer Sale is on now. Gamers will find amazing deals on thousands of games. The Summer Sale will again feature more than straight discounts, offering Daily Deals, Flash Sales, and 'Customer Choice' Sales, the latter allowing gamers to vote for a title on a given list to be put on sale for a limited time." They list a; the Summer Sale 2012 Publisher Packs, there is a list of top sellers on sale down at the bottom of the page, along with a selection of flash sales that only last a few hours each, like Deus Ex: Human Revolution for 75% off for the next five hours. Here are today's specials:

I have a mere 7 badges.

Did a few things for the pillar of community one as well. Stupid steam, none of my previously captured replays in TF2 worked, including one I just took this morning. I finally had to find an empty server and just capture like 10 seconds of video and upload that.

Only 1 potato since that whole event was basically a scam from valve, it didn't even unlock portal 2 a day early. Even if I'd gotten them all and gotten the valve package, I already owned all the games from that. I got the 1 potato just in case it ever mattered in the future. And I guess it did, for this badge.

Thats happened many times, and not just during special steam sales such as summer/winter.
